The activities should be completed in the order in which they arepresented. The estimated time range to complete each activity is provided. Keep in mind your students’ experience and skill level when planning your curriculum implementation.  \nThis curriculum is targeted toward middle school and high school students. Additionally, secondary teachers could use this curriculum as a basis for a full high school course on robotics or engineering. Be sure to follow proper safety procedures when working with robots.  \nPrior to starting this curriculum, take time to review each of the possible robotics sets (under Material Needs) to decide which is best for your students and classroom. Consider factors such as budget, space, access to hand tools, and safety.  \nChecklist  \nUSE THIS CHECKLIST TO HELP YOU GET STARTED.  \n􀂆 Ensure you have all the materials needed to use this curriculum.  \n􀂆 Identify the space where you will implement the program and store materials. Think about the robot sets and where assembled robots will be stored. Do you need robot sets for multiple cohorts of students within the school day?  \n􀂆 Think about the size of the final challenge at the end of the curriculum and what type of an event you want to have. Your event could be in your classroom or be a bigger event in the school.  \n􀂆 Create an implementation plan and timeline for how you will use the curriculum. Determine how it will fit within your intended school or program standards and outcomes.  \n􀂆 Determine how you will place the class into teams. The recommended team size depends on the robot set that you use with your students.  \nMaterial Needs  \nLook over the following list for what materials and space is recommended for your classroom. Each team will need space to design, build, and program their robot. They will need space to participate in teamwork activities. It is also important for each team to have access to electronic devices (specific device requirements depend on robotics set) and the Internet.  \nFOR THE CLASSROOM SPACE:  \n• Small workstations/tables for each team (enough space for robot building, computers, and team activities)  \n• Portable or permanent storage  \n• Internet access  \n• Electrical support  \nFOR EACH TEAM (WITHIN CLASS):  \n• Electronic device with access to the Internet  \n• General engineering and makerspace consumables and materials (basic hand tools, cardboard, string, tape, rubber bands, resealable bags, measuring tape)  \n• General classroom supplies (pens, pencils, paper)  \n−  Note: Supplies needed for each activity are provided within the unit guides.  \n• Robotics set (choose one):  \n− FIRST Tech Challenge Kit of Parts options (1 kit recommended per team of 3-5 students):  \n•  REV EDU kit  \n•  REV FIRST Tech Challenge Starter Kit and Control & Power Bundle  \n•  TETRIX® FIRST Tech Challenge Competition Set ","cbCaieROAYh3Qj2r","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieROAYh3Qj2r","pdf",1578603,32,"English","# Introduction and Getting Started\n## Curriculum Goals and Expected Outcomes\n## Using This Curriculum\n## Checklist\n## Material Needs\n## Storage and Material Management\n## Classroom Implementation\n## Working in Teams\n## How to Run Student Teams","[{\"question\":\"What learning outcomes does the curriculum aim to achieve?\",\"answer\":\"The curriculum builds fundamentals of robotics and engineering through building and programming a robot.
